Reviews
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Bigprisc This is a wonderful movie. I am most taken with Zhou Xun (Meimei/Moudan). She played both roles impressively by giving each of them a character that is totally different from the other. Never once allowing the audience to believe that other than the looks (and the mermaid), nothing else about them is the same.Other then that... everything else about 'Vertigo' and stuff were mentioned by the others, so i shall not go into that.Great movie. One of my faves of all time.
kevin c Very obvious nods to "Vertigo", but that shouldn't distract from a very good film. This is a film of beauty and comedy. You whirl through the streets of Hong Kong, and catch a very real sense of modern life in that part of the world.If you like Wong Kar Wai then catch this.
hbraun Although I enjoyed watching the movie, I thought sometimes if there's enough substance beneath the beautiful and sometimes poetic pictures. Thinking about this interesting movie and remembering scenes for one day - yes I think there is. The two melancholic love stories are indeed intelligently combined. Surely nothing for the typical popcorn-eaters, but highly recommended for people looking for 'real cinema'.
Chris_Docker Set in Shanghai on the banks of the Suzhou River, the story follows a motorcycle courier who one day is asked to deliver a 16yr old girl to her aunt. from this simple yet mysterious beginning a complex and unusual story of lost love and mistaken personality grows. Refreshing and evocative.
